Advice to the owners

Former tenant·Over 3 years ago

Nice building

Pros

It’s clean, neighbors are friendly, super doesn’t live here but is reliable and friendly. Exterminator knocks on the door every Monday morning but I have not needed to use them. Great proximity to the park.

Cons

I’ve only been here for one winter but the heat, while on, could have been better. I’m used to extremely hot nyc radiator apts and my unit is not like that. Sometimes there is noise from people revving engines on the street but otherwise pretty quiet.
